Report: Syria rebuilds on site hit by Israel
Source: Ynet
12 January 2008 – Syria has started to rebuild a suspected nuclear site bombed by Israeli jets in September 2007, the New York Times reported Friday.
According to the report, satellite photos are showing new construction that resembles the site’s main building, which was targeted in the Israeli air strike. Following the attack, the Syrians quickly cleared the suspected site, located roughly 90 miles north of Syria’s border with Iraq.
However, satellite images released Friday by a private American company, DigitalGlobe, showed a tall, square building being constructed that appears to be similar to the structure bombed in September, with the exception of the roof’s shape, the New York Times said. The photo was reportedly taken from space on Wednesday.
'Keeping an eye'
David Albright,
president of the Institute for Science and International Security,
told the Times that in light of the international uproar that
followed the Israeli strike, “we can assume it’s not a reactor.” He
also noted that the construction of the new building would make any
future search for nuclear evidence more difficult, should
international inspectors be allowed to examine the site at some
point.
Comments: Syria, (like Iran) is intent on building a nuclear weapon and this latest adventure just goes to show how determined they are to complete that task. Many news reports were suggesting that this nuclear site that was struck by Israel “was” a site for building nuclear weapons and now Syria is trying to rebuild. It just makes you wonder how far Syria will get in their building plans before this site is hit once again. We know that Israel will not allow this project to be completed and will be monitoring Syria’s daily progress as they have done in the past at this location. Like the old saying goes, “history is bound to repeat itself” and this is one event that will be repeated just as it happed back on 6th Sept. 2007 when Israel destroyed it once before. How Syria responds is a different matter but the bible tells us where this might end.
Isa 17:1 ¶ The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.

Bush says Iran threatens the world's security
Source: CTV News
13 January 2008 – U.S. President George Bush said Iran is responsible for threatening world security and called for Arab allies to help confront the danger "before it's too late."
His call against Iran comes one week after a tense standoff between Iranian speedboats and a U.S. warship in the Persian Gulf.
Speaking from an opulent Abu Dhabi hotel on Sunday, Bush called Iran "the world's leading state sponsor of terror."
He accused Iran of funding extremists, providing weapons to the Taliban and undermining peace in Lebanon.
He also said the country defied the United Nations by refusing to be open about its nuclear program and threatened the security of U.S. allies in the Persian Gulf.
"Iran's actions threaten the security of nations everywhere," Bush said. "So the United States is strengthening our long-standing security commitments with our friends in the Gulf, and rallying friends around the world to confront this danger before it is too late."
Speaking to an audience dressed in a mix of western attire and Arabic clothes, Bush said advancing democracy and freedom is at the centre of U.S. foreign policy.
Bush spoke directly to the Iraqi people about democratic reform in their country.
"You have made your choice for democracy and have stood firm," Bush said. "The terrorists and extremists cannot prevail."
He made an equally direct appeal to the Palestinians, saying "The dignity and sovereignty that is your right is within your grasp."
Tensions
between the U.S. and Iran have grown following the confrontation
last Sunday in which Iranian speedboats swarmed a U.S. warship
during a tense 20-minute standoff.
